Machine vision
Optimizing decision making processes is possible thanks to machine vision
When we talk about machine vision applied to industry, we are referring to technology that allows machines or systems to see and process images in order to make decisions based on this information. Making certain decisions in time allows to anticipate and avoid future errors in the production line or can even prevent the manufacture of a dysfunctional system or product.
At DEIMA we are fully aware that information is power and that machine vision technology has transformed industries in the sense that it has provided them with advanced solutions for tasks such as inspection, quality control, automation and data analysis.
How is machine vision applied in industry?
In order to fully exploit the potential of machine vision, it is essential to have data. This data is obtained from cameras and sensors. Then, thanks to image processing algorithms, they are interpreted and valuable information is obtained.
From DEIMA we can develop artificial vision systems for those customers who wish to implement them in their production process. Machine vision is a technology that allows to optimize human resources, materials and time investment.
Machine vision applications
Machine vision can be applied in different phases of the production process in industries. It is usually applied in quality control and inspections, as machines with machine vision are able to detect defects such as cracks or scratches in products and can ensure correct assembly.
It is also most useful in process automation, as it can guide robots in assembly processes and in the placement of products on production lines. It can also identify objects and classify them according to their shape, color or size, greatly facilitating the automation of certain processes.
In the field of logistics and production tracking, machine vision is a great ally. It can automate the tracking of products in the warehouse and inventory management. The precision with which machine vision is able to track materials guarantees perfect traceability of the flow of materials from their input to their use in final products.
Machine vision is very useful in the field of safety and prevention. Many industries use it to ensure safety in work areas thanks to its ability to identify potential hazards. It is also useful in identifying anomalous behaviors that are symptoms of failures or hazardous conditions.
The use of machine vision in process improvement is recurrent. The image analysis performed by artificial vision is used to predict component wear and tear and to carry out correct preventive maintenance. It also allows real-time analysis of the state of the machines in order to make adjustments and improve the quality of the final product.
Finally, machine vision is closely related to digitalization and Industry 4.0. For this reason, the images obtained with this machine vision system can be automatically sent to the cloud so that they can be fully analyzed and decisions can be made in real time.
